hi. ever since i installed the new version of windowmaker (along
with a new videocard) on my computer the GIMP hasn't been working
properly. when i drag the mouse on an image to lets say, make a
square it leaves a very annoying pattern in the mouses path. its
hard to descibe but it forms a negative of the background. it makes
it hard to see what im working on. does anyone know what is causing
this and what i could do to fix it.thank you,marissa
what video card, and version of X are you using? have you tried going
back to your old card to see if it still works?
XFree86 4.0 is still kinda screwy, but it may work better for really
new cards.
windowmaker is usually pretty solid, but you could try fvwm2 or kde to
see if you still have problems.
does it look like something are not refreshing properly?
i am using the Stealth 3 540 PCI. it installed on linux without any
problem. i have only run into problems in the gimp. andi don't think
its a refreshing problem... it just draws a block over the screen that
turns that area of the background into a negative. it is really odd.
oh, and when it stays even after i close out of the gimp. if i move any
program window over it that erases the flaws. ...any clues now? i will
try some different window managers and see what that does.
